Hi all, I ve created a tet mesh in ICEM CFD i need to export that to ansys10 for structural analysis (*.inp). can anyone please help me how to specify the element and material properties in icem cfd and export to ansys 10.

thanks in advance Siva.K

You can give material property and other stuff in AI Environment and from there you can export to ANSYS i guess,

AI Environment can be selected from settings tab -> product -> AI Environment+ cfd utilities.

I hope it will work.

thanks rohit, i tried and got an .in file but i specified only one element types in the icem but getting 4 element types after importing to ANSYS. can you tell me how to create the material properties and elements in icem cfd.

regards siva.K

you can give the material property inside the properties tab(create material property 3rd icon) and assign the material property to volume elements using the last icon(define volume element)

coming to the element type, you can give the element type in the output tab in the define BC icon .. define the element type to volume

hope this should solve your problem.... pl let me know if have any issues

thanks rohit, i ve solved my problem and ur suggestions were really helpful for me. i guess from ICEM CFD we cant export the areas and volumes coz after importing to ansys 10 i got only the finite element model it does not have any areas or volumes

Thanks and regards siva.k
